Bride of the Viper
A Dark Sapphic Mafia Romance of Rival Families, Forced Alliances, and Dangerous Desire

After discovering her fiancé's betrayal on Christmas Eve, Naomi Clarke locks away the part of herself that once believed in holiday magic. A year later, her career puts her in charge of Atlanta's twelve-day Winter Festival, where every light, song, and tradition threatens the walls she has built. Her partner on the project is Jordan Mitchell, a devoted father and community advocate whose warmth is impossible to ignore. As the festival unfolds, Naomi must decide whether protecting her heart is worth losing the chance to find a love that feels like home.
